Summary of development/review and consultation process

Hanga-Aro-Rau Manufacturing, Engineering, and Logistics Workforce Development Council met with employers and MITO, the sole provider, between July 2024 and September 2024 to review the New Zealand Certificate in Outdoor Power Equipment (Level 4) [Ref: 4009] and associated unit standards.

Online meetings were held fortnightly to discuss industry training needs. Feedback from industry stakeholders confirmed that this qualification was working as intended. Industry agreed the Graduate Profile Outcomes and their credit values were still appropriate for a graduate of this qualification and still represented what industry needed.
